Who do you guys use for covers?

(1/3) > >>

Gregg Bell:
Thanks to a WS member for turning me onto Miblart, but who do the rest of you guys use? Who, in particular, might be good for a legal thriller sequel, which is what I need the cover for? Thanks.

alhawke:
I'd check out Damon Za for that genre. They're pricey, but might get you something really fantastic for your book category (DamonZa did all my sci fi covers). For fantasy, I love my super talented fantasy artist at Brosedesignz.

LilyBLily:
Look inside various books in your genre--check the sample--to see if cover artists are credited. There are far less pricey cover artists around. (I would love to afford a DamonZa cover if I wrote in that genre.)

The Killion Group has been around for years and is trustworthy. Pricing:
Front Cover: $135.00
Spine and back addition for print: $75.00
Pre-Made Book Cover: $45-$85

So for a print book and ebook combo, it would be $210.


Compare to:
https://www.streetlightgraphics.com pricing is more like $449--not an unusual price. Never worked with them.

https://www.goonwrite.com/index.htm another possibility to look at. $275-$450 --has a good rep.

Always look at multiple companies' portfolios.

Thanks A.L. Yeah, Damonza has the reputation for sure, but like you said "pricey."

Thanks, LilyBLily, and thanks for the links. I really liked a lot of the thriller covers at the Killion Group. I'll check into them further. They're my price range too. Thanks.
